Happy Wednesday Everyone

How are you today?  Have you been reading any good books?  If so I wish you would share some with us on the blog.  Just post a comment and tell us what you are reading.  We all would like to read a good book. :)

Today I want to share a great children's book that I just loved.  I had never read it before.  The author did an excellent job and has written several books.  So I hope to read some of them too.  Please share this wonderful book with a child today.  :):)

Mary's First Thanksgiving

by

Kathy-jo Wargin

This is an inspirational story of gratefulness.  Mary and her mother and father have come to America from Ireland.  Mary wishes she was back home in Ireland where her friends and her family are .  She doesn't have any friends and her family doesn't have much food or money . She complains to her mother and father about being in America and her father tells her the story about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving.  He tells her how little the pilgrims had when they got to America and how many died and if it hadn't been for the Indians all of them would have died.  There were many times when the pilgrims barely had enough food to survive.  But five kernels of corn helped the Pilgrims survive and make their faith stronger.  Will the story of the five kernels inspire Mary to find a reason to have faith to?

Please share this inspirational story with a child before Thanksgiving comes next week.

Here is some information about the author and gives you information about more of her books.  I think you will enjoy each of them.  Happy Reading!!!!!
